Email: [email protected]. 10 Abstract: On August 20, 2019, at 2 a.m., a disastrous debris flow occurred in Chediguan gully in Yinxing town, 11 China. The debris flow destroyed the drainage groove and the bridge at the exit of the gully. In addition, the debris 12 flow temporarily blocked the Minjiang River during the flood peak, flooding the Taipingyi hydropower station 200 13 m upstream and leaving two plant workers missing. To further understand the activity of the debris flow after the 14 Wenchuan earthquake, the characteristics of this debris flow event were studied. Eleven years after the Wenchuan 15 earthquake, a disastrous debris flow still occurred in the Chediguan catchment, causing more severe losses than 16 those of earlier debris flows. In this paper, the formation mechanism and dynamic characteristics of this debris flow 17 event are analysed based on a drone survey, high-definition remote sensing interpretations and other means. The 18 catastrophic debris flow event indicates that debris flows in the Wenchuan earthquake area are still active. A large 19 amount of dredging work in the main gully could effectively reduce the debris flow risk in the gully. In addition, it 20 is also important to repair or rebuild damaged mitigation measures and to establish a real-time monitoring and early 21 warning system for the high-risk gully. 22 Key words：debris flow, disaster characteristics, Wenchuan earthquake, drone measurement, sediment supply conditions 23 0 Introduction 24 At 2:28 pm on May 12th, 2008, an MS8 earthquake struck Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province (“5.12” 25 earthquake), China. The earthquake induced more than 56,000 landslides in a mountainous area of 41,750 km² (Dai 26 et al. 2011). Most of the landslides were distributed in hills and gorges, and the landslides converted into frequent 27 debris flows under heavy rainfall after the earthquake (Chang et al. 2017, Fan et al. 2018). During the 11 years that 28 have passed since the Wenchuan earthquake, the long-term debris flow activities occurring after the earthquake have 29 caused great threats to local residents. Among them, the most serious debris flows occurred on August 14, 2010, in 30 Longchi town and Yingxiu town and on July 10, 2013, in Wenchuan (Chang et al. 2014, Tang et al. 2011a). Some 31 scholars have pointed out that strong debris flow activities after earthquakes will last 10~15 years or even 30 years 32 (Tang et al. 2011b, Chen et al. 2019). This concept is well supported by the mass debris flow that occurred in 33 Wenchuan County on August 20, 2019. 34 From 0:00 to 7:00 on August 20, 2019, the cumulative rainfall in Wenchuan County reached a maximum of 65 35 mm, resulting in a number of debris flows and flash floods and affecting more than 10 townships in the county. 36 Among them, the disasters in Miansi town, Sanjiang town, and Yinxing town were the most serious. According to 37 the information released by the Wenchuan County People's Government, the “8.20” disaster damaged many roads, 1 38 pieces of communication equipment, farmlands and houses. The local government transferred a total of 48,000 39 people and resettled 2,505 people. As of September 5, 2019, the debris flows and flash floods caused 16 deaths and 40 25 missing people, resulting in direct economic losses of approximately 3.408 billion yuan. According to the survey, 41 the losses were mostly caused by flash floods. The debris flow events mainly caused damage to the bridges and 42 infrastructure along the Minjiang River, hindering the transportation, power supply and communication in the 43 disaster area and increasing the difficulty of rescue but not causing casualties. 44 On August 20, 2019, at 2 a.m., debris flow occurred in Chediguan gully of Yinxing Town, with a volume of 45 63.8×104 m3. The debris flow poured out along drainage channels and destroyed the drainage groove located at the 46 ditch as well as the G213 Taiping Middle Bridge. According to the photos taken by the UAV, the debris flow fan was 47 300 meters long, 260 meters wide, and the average depth is 8 meters. The volume and area of the deposition area 48 were 63.8×104 m3 and 7.9×104 m2, respectively (Figure 1). The debris flow front blocked Minjiang River and caused 49 the water level to rise, flooding the active dam area and leaving two people missing. Debris flows broke out several 50 times in Chediguan gully after the “5.12” earthquake (Figure 1 and Table 1). 51 As Chediguan gully is located along on the only routes of the Du-Wen highway and 213 national road, 52 Chediguan debris flow disasters always threaten the roads and passing vehicles. After the completion of mitigation 53 measures in 2011, the debris flow activity in Chediguan gully was significantly reduced, and the debris flow risk 54 gradually became ignored. The debris flow event in 2019 brought the Chediguan gully back into our view and left us 55 with many questions. The most important question involves the cause of the disaster. What we need to know is why 56 the Chediguan gully, under the defence of mitigation measures, can still break out in such a large-scale debris flow 57 10 years after the earthquake and cause such serious damage. Based on this concern, we investigated the debris flow 58 disaster that occurred on August 20, 2019, and analysed the formation mechanism and dynamic characteristics of 59 this debris flow event by means of a drone survey, high-definition remote sensing interpretation and other means. 60 This paper can provide a reliable scientific basis for the management of the Chediguan catchment and enrich the 61 understanding of post-earthquake debris flows. 62 63 Fig 1 Mizoguchi photos of Chediguan gully after the debris flow in 2011 and 2019 64 1 Study Area 65 Chediguan gully is located in Yinxing town, Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China (Figure 2). The 66 coordinates of its mizoguchi are 103°29’2”E and 31°13’23.4”N. The flow direction of the gully is from west to east, 67 and the gully covers an area of 16.49 km2. The main ditch is approximately 6.2 km long with an average 68 longitudinal slope of 302‰. Maximum altitude 2940 m, minimum altitude 1065.5 m, and the height difference 2 69 1574.5 m. The study area is approximately 18 km away from Yingxiu town and approximately 35 km away from 70 Wenchuan County. The Yingxiu-Wenchuan Expressway runs through the ditch along the tunnel and provides 71 convenient transportation. The geographical location of the gully is shown in Figure 2. 72 73 Fig.2 Location map of the study area 74 Chediguan gully belongs to middle and high mountainous areas, with steep overall terrain and free face 75 development in the catchment. The drainage system in Chediguan gully is developed, and there are a total of 9 76 tributaries along the main channel. All the tributaries are steep, and their lengths and watershed areas are quite 77 different from each other. Compared with the tributaries on the left bank, the tributaries on the right bank are shorter, 78 their areas are smaller, and their slopes are steeper. The developed drainage system can not only effectively collect 79 rainfall but can also promote the migration of source material in the basin to the main channel, thus promoting the 80 formation of debris flows. The drainage system and a topographic map of Chediguan gully are shown in Figure 3. 81 The catchment is mainly formed by steep slopes, which are beneficial for accumulating rainfall and causing 82 landslides. Among the whole catchment, gently sloping lands (<25°) accounting for 11.52% of the total area, which 83 distributed in the downstream area. Steep lands (25°– 35°) accounting for 8.79% of the total area, and acutely steep 84 lands (≥35°) accounting for 79.69% of the total area. The main channel slope is steeper at and above the intersection 85 with the 6th tributary (Feixianyan gully) but gradually slows below this confluence.
